Amy Childs felt like Bradley Wright's mum

In a statement released to MailOnline, her spokesperson confirmed: 'Amy has not thrown Brad out, but they have split up amicably.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Amy said: 'After Polly arrived, he was sleeping in a different room.

Even when he came home from work he'd have a cuddle with her and he did that a little bit but then he'd go upstairs. Then after two weeks I just thought, I can't do this any more. I wish he'd helped me.

The 27-year-old, who split from Bradley in 2010, said Amy reached out to her after she discovered he had a secret daughter, and told Leighanne she'd make sure he had "contact with Lexi".

Meanwhile, Bradley also expressed his feelings following their split, admitting his work got in the way somewhat.

"I'm adjusting to the split from Amy; it's hard".

'If Amy feels like I wasn't helping with Polly it was because I've been very busy with work, ' he said. 'I'm a tree surgeon and ground worker, so it's unsafe if I'm exhausted'.

The pair met in a pub in Essex two years ago but their relationship came to a halt in 2015 when Bradley was sentenced to 16 months in prison for handling stolen goods. We wanted one before Bradley went to prison but it didn't happen.

She added: "I thought she was very silly [to get pregnant] because I didn't think their relationship was strong enough to bring a baby into the world".

"I don't think he's a child person".

She exclusively told new! that Brad had once told her that he would "take Amy for every penny she's got" and originally didn't tell her that he had a daughter.
